To make the task easier I put here just my favorite gfic (though some of them have awesome nfic version). I did try to narrow the list to ten, but I couldn't, I couldn't, I couldn't.  Hey, it isn't my fault that there're so many incredible fics on the archive and here.  In alphabetical order: - 24 Hours by Wendy Richards - A Gift for Life by StopQuitDont and Jenni Debbage - Are You Lonesome Tonight...? by LabRat * - Cause and Effect by ML Thompson - City by the Sea by StopQuitDont * - Faux Pas by Wendy Richards - Poison by Wendy Richards * - Purity by Yvonne Connell * - Sugar & Spice by LabRat * - The Long Road Home by Erin Klingler - What It Means to Love You by Erin Klingler - When You Needed Me Most by Erin Klingler - Yellow Fever by ML Thompson * * fic with nfic version on Annesplace.  There're a lot more that I wanted to put here, but I'm sure others will point them, because they're classic and unforgettable fics. Andreia

Just TEN???!!! You've got to be kidding!  Well, OK, I'll make the attempt to narrow it down that much. No guarentees. You Made Me Love You by Zoomway (it's a series) 24 Hours by Wendy Richards (seriously, you'll need a box of Kleenex for this one. I'm trying REALLY hard to only pick one by each author, and it's darn near impossible with Wendy!) Proof series by Sue S. (absolutely beautiful, and just barely edges out Platonic or Faustian Bargain ) An Affair to Remember by David (OMG, this is so wonderful) Are You Lonesome Tonight? by Dr. Klein's Labrat (hah, Labby, I know the full name!) Un-series by CC Aiken (love it) A Consumamate Revelation by the Gorn (nfic only!) Dark Revelation by Tank Wilson (any of Tank's fics are good) Escape from New Krypton by ML Thompson (one of her newer ones, and I've read it 5 times in the past month. I love how she changes Kal to Clark. But it's really hard to pick just one of ML's fics!) A Gift for Life by SQD and Jenni Debbage (tops on my list. Another one where you need Kleenex) Home series by Nan Smith (or maybe the Night at the Office series. Again, hard to pick just one!) In Dreams by Kaylle (haunting, this one. Altworld story, one of the best) Learning Curves by Chris Carr Lost and Found by Jeff Brogden PML Oh Boy! by Tank and Wendy Rest and Reproduction by Meredith Knight (I had a hard time just picking one of Meredith's fics) Strangers series by Missy Gallant To Wake from Dreams by Nicole Sullivan (second on my list of all time favorites. This is the most haunting TOGOM re-write I've ever read) When Friends become Lovers by Demi and Kathy Brown (and the sequel When Lovers become More by Kathy Brown) When You Needed Me Most by Erin Klingler Cloud Nine by TicandToc (Janet Owens is really the name. Very funny take on the beginning season!) Argh!! Too many, and I haven't picked one from everyone yet! I forgot Pam, and Yvonne, and the Sara(h)s, Kaethel, and AnnieM, and Annette, and Carol, and Gerry, and... EDIT and DJ (total brain fart there, DJ!) and Carol and Shayne and Terry and Paul (how could I forget Paul? Sorry!) and Dandello and Lara and Judith and Rhen and...I'm still not cutting much out, am I? fiddlesticks. *whoosh* Deep breath here. Nope, couldn't do ten. Heck, couldn't do twenty. I count twenty-one. Could we go for a top 50? mmouse EDITED to add links to stories and add a few more really fabulous authors everyone should read.

OK, so not my complete list of must reads, but a list none the least of must reads I have remembered to store on my HD...
BTW no particular order,
but (*) means exceptionally anxty
*In a Child's Name Delaney
Picture perfect wedding... What?! Laura S
Andrew's life Samantha Junieth
Flight risk Nancy Merckle
*Chip off the old Clark Stopquitdont
*Anybody's baby Annie M
Next Step Sue S.
*Small steps Christy
*Little Girl Lost and the sequel Innocence lost by Laura Davies
There's Always something Xanabee
*Purity and Fear of Flying (unconnected) by Yvonne Connell
And 1 more that is obviously not on my HD because I cannot remember the name or author, but is in essence a 1 episode attempt at continuing after the multi-authoured S7
EDIT: I FOUND OUT THE MISSING STORY
HELP NOT WANTED by METRORHODES
Favourite series' (more than 2 eps)
- The series starting with New Birth and ending with The Kent Family Christmas Fairy tail Jenny Debbage
- Of course both (TUFF and S5 for Series 5 and the series 6 from the mult-iauthored beyond the 4th series...
and

These are some of my absolute favorites, in no particular order:
When the World Finds Out by CC Aiken
Rest and Reproduction by Meredith Knight
A Closet Encounter of the Nth Kind by Meredith Knight
A Consummate Revelation by The Gorn
A Gift for Life by StopQuitDont and Jenni Debbage

The Next Step by Sue S.
Revisionist History by Sue S.
Stardust by Caroline
Recognition: Truth by Carol Malo

Let me say that no story has made me happier than the alternative ending to The Friends We'd Do For a Friend by C.C. Aiken. The sheer situation in this story, the incredibly sweet sexy absurdity of it, the adorable personalities of Lois and Clark shining through so wonderfully, the humour and the WAFF... I guess that may be my favorite story of them all. Too bad it's hard to find, because it hasn't been uploaded anywhere.

There is no way to limit it to 10 favorites, so I'm not even going to try, I'll just try to avoid re-listing those already mentioned. You're forewarned. Something the Cat Dragged In by CC Aiken  ) Forget Me Not, Redux by Pam Jernigan Whisper from the Dying by Kaethel and Wendy Richards The Accidental Husband by Erin Klingler (Honorable mention for The Marriage Pact ) Meet Me in Kansas City by Chris Mulder FOLCs in the Mist by Mary Potts  Mister December by Supermom Fugue & Fugue 2 by Shayne Terry (honorable mention Gossip Day Follows Nightfall by Tank Wilson (honorable mention to Love Disabled ) Counter Clark-Wise by Zoomway A few other favorite authors : C_A , CC - it may have been her "Un" series that hooked me on this fandom; DocKlein\'s Labrat , Terry Leatherwood , Irene Dutch , Carol Malo , Sue S. ... so many good stories, so little time. Edited to fix a couple of the links BJ

There have been so many wonderful stories that I've read, I'm sure that I can't remember half of them off hand by name, but I'll give it a shot. Only ten though...that's tough.
In no particular order:
Meet Me in Kansas City by Chris Mulder
In a Better Place by CC Aiken
Purgatory by Stopquitdont
The Butterfly Legacy by Lynn M.
Faustian Bargain by Sue S.
When Galaxies Divide by Stopquitdont
The Playing series by Annie M.
Without Consent by Wendy Richards
Darkest Dreams by SmirkyRaven (Not yet finished)
Recognition series by CcMalo (The one that started it all--my obsession with Folcdom)
Well, there's ten, but I've read so many fics over the years that I've absolutely loved, it would take me all day to name them.

Actually, I liked Mr. December. I just can't pick the names of my top ten favorites -- or even top fifty, so I didn't try.

You know there are so many good fics out there... maybe we should start just a general recommendation thread.
Maybe everyone gets to suggest one fic a week for everyone to read. The catch is it can't be a fic already listed. =P That way we really could compile a nice little reading list for everyone each week.

What a wonderful reading list! (Or rather, for the most part a rereading list. Is this a sign of too much fanfic if I've read the vast majority of the fics listed?  ) Anyway, I wanted to chime in with my two cents on one of my all-time favorite "read and reread so many times I long since lost count and I've had to put a moritorium on reading it so I won't have it completely memorized the next time I read it" series since I don't think it's been mentioned yet. I would unhesitatingly include C. Leuch's Dawn of Discovery Series on my Top Ten list, (along with about twenty or thirty other fics and series ). While I'm hesitant to say this is my absolute favorite (that status tends to be reserved for whatever story I'm reading at the moment), I will say that I have had to reprint at least one of the stories in the series because I mangled my first copy through overreading. I think a few of the stories from Nan's Home Series have reached similar exalted reprinting status. Along with a couple more fics. These two series just came to mind first. Unfortunately I'm way too lazy to subject myself to filling out the rest of my top ten list. Especially since I'm sure I couldn't keep the list to just ten.
